YMCA Preschool, Before and After School Program Registration Now Open

Priority registration for the 2022-2023 school year is currently open to Lincoln YMCA (ymcalincoln.org) Members, with open registration beginning on February 15. For youth aged three to five, Preschool is offered at four Lincoln YMCA locations and includes swim lessons and gym class as part of its licensed program.

“At the Y, kids have an opportunity to be creative, explore their environment, and develop problem solving skills. Our staff serves as positive role models and provides care that is supportive, nurturing, and warm,” shared Kim Pair, associate executive director of the Cooper YMCA.

Before and After School Programs at the YMCA support children in reaching their full potential by providing academic support and hands-on enrichment experiences in a safe, structured environment. Through activities like homework assistance, arts and crafts, literacy, board games, and outdoor play, the Y supports experiential learning while developing valuable life skills. Partnering elementary schools include Elliott, Kahoa, Kooser, Pershing, Pyrtle, Wysong, and Zeman. Partnering middle schools include Lefler, Lux, Mickle, Moore, Pound, Schoo, and Scott.

The YMCA of Lincoln has served the community for over 150 years, promoting positive values through programs that build spirit, mind, and body for all.
